For shame! BMW would NEVER be caught dead calling their orange edition, something as boring as "construction orange"! No, it is called "Flame Orange". Have to say it is a deeper, glossier orange. Pics really don't do it justice. It definitely grows on you!
Ok, construction orange was my uneducated naming of that color, actually, Subaru calls this special edition "Tangerine Orange Pearl" (if it's the same color as the Crosstek) which I guess is not as fancy or fast as "Flame Orange" but it looks pretty damn similar to me haha.
BTW, are you sure it's not "Fire Orange" because that's what comes up when I do a search? Honestly ShelbyGirl- I thought you were such a car goddess and could do no wrong

It is funny, isn't it, how car companies try to come up with distinctive names for routine colors. I have a red car, but Jaguar insists on calling it claret, lol.

What about British Racing Green, adopted due to the fact that when motor racing was prohibited in Britain the early days of motoring enthusiasts raced in Ireland.
I had a 1968 Volvo 1800 in British racing green. The 1800 was originally built in Ireland, production moved to Sweden a few years after model was established.
My current truck has a deep royal blue paint job, it matches the blue in the Ford oval so it blends in well.
I do not gauge color trends on what is on lots, they only get what is sent to them and some of them are hard to move. I love that green on the Fiat by the way.
Over here in Montenegro, the major color for vehicles is black. Black audis, black mercedes, black BMW's.... I've never seen anything like it! Now back in my section of New England, USA...we see alot of silver and charcoal.
